lsm_pool_name_get(3)

💖 lsm_pool_name_get 💖

okay bestie so this one lives in the Libstoragemgmt C API Manual, section 3, and it's called lsm_pool_name_get. it's a tiny little icon and honestly? it does exactly one thing and does it flawlessly. no notes. 👑

---

✨ NAME ✨

lsm_pool_name_get — Retrieve the name for the pool. that's it. that's the whole job. 💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

char * lsm_pool_name_get (lsm_pool *p);

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• p — Pool to retrieve name for. yes queen, hand over the pool and she'll hand you back the name. 🫶

---

⭐ VERSION ⭐

1.0 — baby's first version, and she ate. 🔥

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Retrieve the name for the pool.

like... that's it. you give her a pool, she gives you the name. it's giving "I know a guy who knows a guy" but the guy is a function and the name is the pool's name. lowkey the simplest glow-up in the whole library. ✨

---

💀 NOTE 💀

⚠️ okay this part is IMPORTANT, bestie, do not scroll past:

• Address returned is valid until lsm_pool gets freed, copy return value if you need longer scope.
• Do not free returned string.

so like — the string she hands you? it's borrowed, not yours. she's lending you her hoodie, not giving it to you. the second the lsm_pool gets freed, that pointer is gone, no cap, and reading it after is a whole crime scene. 😭

and do not free returned string — if you free() it you are literally freeing memory you don't own, which is highkey the opposite of slaying. if you need it to stick around longer than the pool does, copy return value. do that. please. 🙈

---

🌈 RETURN 🌈

string. and if things go sideways:

• NULL if argument 'p' is NULL or not a valid lsm_pool pointer.

so yeah, vibe check your pointer first. if it's not a real lsm_pool, you get NULL and a little lesson in humility. 🧚

that's the whole page, bestie!! short, sweet, and every single detail intact — the char * return, the lsm_pool *p argument, version 1.0, the "valid until lsm_pool gets freed" rule, the "do not free returned string" rule, the NULL-on-bad-pointer behaviour, all of it. 🌸✨

and a lil sign-off for the credits moment: this iconic lil manual page is lsm_pool_name_get(3) from the Libstoragemgmt C API Manual, dated February 2026. periodt. 💖
